Code upgrade cover decides whether a Valley Center claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Emergency tarping on a Valley Center roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it.
As a rule, converted garages in Valley Center are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. Additions and conversions are common in Valley Center, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Realistically, garage and patio roof coverings in Valley Center are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. We see it on Valley Center roofs every week.
